It's Friday, and I'm off to the fair for free. A new homeschooling friend invited us to a 4-H presentation, so not only do we get the free admission, but we also get to take in a picnic lunch. That's a frugal way to manage the fair, if I do say so myself. In honor of my Frugal Fair Friday, enjoy some frugal linkage...

I talk about my life anyway because if, on the one hand,hardly anything could be less important, on the other hand,hardly anything could be more important.My story is important not because it is mine, God knows,but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances areyou will recognize that in many ways it is also yours.Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you and I,of these stories of who we are and where we have come fromand the people we have met along the waybecause it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity,as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself knownto each of us most powerfully and personally.-- Frederick Buechner
